As with most crews there is someone who is an early riser,on this leg it was Pete,the dinghy was in the water so he went up to Cygnet for a few things.We had finished our second loaf of homemade bread and needed some for the ashore BBQ in Quarantine Bay tonight.
The rest of the crew struggled up ,the skipper being last after finishing another day on the blog.Had the cuppa and juice when Peter arrived back.
Choroz cooked up all the leftovers for breakfast.There being no hurry we slowly got going,the two skiffs with lady crews rowed past on their morning exercise,chattering away as usual,we see them each year,the Cygnet seemed to be an addition from two years ago.
Motored slowly ,10 knots towards the channel,Biggs and the crew in command while I did another day on the blog.
Arrived at Quarantine about three and anchored in a good spot.I had a nana ,the rest reading and contemplating a clean up of the boat.
Slowly the boats trickled in and anchored,about fifteen I suppose by going ashore time.The cruise ship Coral Discoverer was in the bay with people ashore at the Quarantine Station,they departed late in the afternoon.
The function ashore was well attended ,three of the club BBQ’s going flat out.Interesting to note two filled with Peppers and Zuchini,not to my liking!
As we had assisted with lighting the fire we felt a bit responsible towards putting it out but it was obvious some people were going to kick on well after dark we retreated to the boat for a coffee and left them to it.
As Jerry said the last night is a bit nostalgic but I am sure we will get over it.
